According to the report, Bitcoin will account for 60% of cryptocurrency betting. The second place is occupied by Tether with a share of 30%. The remaining crypto-currencies account for a total of 10% of the volume of such bets.
Representatives of the report noted the following: «Over the past four years, the cryptocurrency betting market has grown significantly, and we expect this development to lead to an increase in betting volume over the next month. More and more regulators are looking to include crypto-currency rates in the regulatory framework, and this trend will continue in the future.»
